Yes, of course.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Điểm: 5.0Gợi ý: You repeated the examiner’s question instead of answering it, and the phrase “when we when” makes the response unclear. Give a direct answer first, then add one specific detail, such as when you learned to ride or where you used your bike.
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. I got my first bike when I was about seven, and I used to ride it around my neighborhood with my friends.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Điểm: 35.0Gợi ý: Your answer is relevant, but it is too brief to develop your opinion. Explain who commonly rides bikes or why they are popular, and add a specific example. You could also use a linking word such as “because” or “for example.”
Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among students and people who commute short distances. They are affordable and convenient, and in many cities people also use them to avoid traffic.
× Did you have a bike when we when you were a child?
✓ Did you have a bike when you were a child?
The phrase 'when we' is an incomplete, repeated false start that disrupts the sentence structure. Remove it so the question has one clear time clause: 'when you were a child.'
